• The pool!

“This hotel is great. The hotel grounds are amazing. The pool is very large and the beach is right in front. I highly recommend having a beach massage. I would return to this hotel again.”

• Great Pool & convenient location.
• Make sure you get a room with a view of the pool or garden.

“Hotel was very nice; however, we were not pleased with the room. Was a room with no view or no balcony--it faced the back of the building. Not very exciting or romantic for a hotel in Hawaii. We would have rather paid a similar price for a room with a good view or balcony at a lower star quality.”

“Beautiful hotel and setting. Love Duke's restaurant. Part of golf course closed due to construction. Also construction on parking requires valet or using shuttle. Hotel charges a daily parking fee.”

• Hotel grounds were awesome.
• The room was not great.

“Hotel has very nice grounds and great pool (although a bit too shallow (at most 4ft deep). The quality of room will depend on the room type. The rooms with ocean and pool views are decent. The room w/o a view is very old and hasnt been renovated in awhile. The Italian cafe, Cafe Portofino, near the resort is also really good.”

• Hotel sites on beautiful calm beach and has some lovely grounds.

“The resort is located near the airport but this was not a problem as we only once hear any plane nice The room we were initially given was not very nice. It was small and the bathroom was tiny. The windows looked out on to a concrete wall. We discovered a lot of ants in our room when we checked in and instead of offering to move us, they had someone come spray. The room then smelled terribly so I went to the front desk to ask for a different room. They moved us but said we would have to move back to the original room the next day b/c they were full. Our second room was a garden view (really viewed the back maintenance area) and was much nicer. It was roomier and the bathroom was very nice. The second day, we had a bell man pick-up our bags since we were told we couldn't stay in that room. When we got back that evening to get ready to attend a luau, we went to the front desk to get keys to our room for the night and they gave us the room we had had the night before, so we didn't need to use the bell man after all. The only problem was that it then took 1 1/2 hrs to get our bags. Overall, whenever I called them about a problem, they said they were busy and were not very apologetic. The couple days there were stressful at times due to the way the hotel handled things. I was not impressed overall.”

• The hotel was common areas were gorgeous.
• The Pool was NOT heated!

“It was nice, but not 5 star! We arrived late and could NOT get a bottle of water anywhere, vending machines were empty! ALL OF THEM and this was a resort? The staff tried to be helpful but they just didn't know there own hotel. IE: our room had internet, they didn't know. I had to search for the outlet. They do laundry, front desk did not know this. Rooms were cleaned ONCE, unless we paid extra to have this done. The pool is NOT heated! Ice cold. Little things like that nice hotel, just not for those that like to be pampered.”

• Beautiful facilities at a centralized location.
• Luxury comes at a price.

“The Marriot is a beautiful place! We had the cheapest room in the hotel, but it was still luxurious. Staff are friendly. Nice restaurants on premises. Quiet. Lush gardens are in all open areas. Even though we were there in February, the huge pool seemed to be fairly pleasant. The beach is nice because it is, for the most part, private. The water is safe for everyone, 100 yards out and it's only chest deep, perfect for those who are a little nervous about being in the ocean.”

• Great beach location, kopi fish pool, 5 Jacuzzis, great hotel restaurants.
• Room quality varies Drastically! Depending on what tower you stay.

“Our first two nights we had a garden view in a newer wing, but on our second visit we were given a standard room in the oldest tower. The difference was practically night (2star) and day. The kopi pool and daily AM feeding was great. As was the clover-shaped pool, BBQ-grills available, and the on-site Duke's Restaurant. If you have dinner at Duke's before 9pm, not only will you have phenomenal food, but their small Hawaiian trio will come over to your table and play your own request Beach is great, but we noticed a lot of locals (mostly teenagers) sneaking into the pool and Jacuzzi. Overall great hotel!”

• The location was great, close to the airport without hearing the planes, right on the beach with a great view.
• Seriously needs to be updated.

“When you stay at the Marriott Kauai you know you're staying at a resort that was built long ago. The grounds are sprawling and just what we had in mind for a Hawaiian resort. But, the pervasive salmon coloring is a bit much. The bathrooms all need to be updated; the shower was cramped and dark, the counter was about knee high, and there was mold on the bathroom ceiling. The resort has about 4 restaurants on site, none were that remarkable. All told not awful, but if you don't mind being further from the airport, Id try someplace else.”

• Our room was just okay, very small. Expected more of a resort level.

“It wasn't in the best shape with very small room and bathroom. Something you would expect in a 3 star hotel, not a resort. Maybe if we paid their higher rates, our room would have been better. Otherwise, the facility was top notch. Pricey restaurants were expected for a resort.”

• Nearby airport, beautiful pool, great location on the bay, beach, great restaurants (dukes).
• Extra charge for parking, view, king bed. Seemed anything extra costs more.

“We love this hotel as this is the 4th time we stayed here. The pool is great and the location on Kalapaki bay is great. The beach is nice and the water is great for kids. It is nice that they offer the "linger longer" program which lets you stay, for a fee, in the room until 6 p.m. which is great for those late night flights from the island. That is particularly nice.”

“Other than the ocean view rooms on the upper floors (which you would pay a hefty premium for), the rest of the hotel was unacceptably dark, dingy, and very noisy. We had a miserable night's rest full of banging pipes, whistling ventilation, and other unidentifiable noises.”

• This was a very pretty hotel with open lobby with pond stocked with many Koi fishes, Waterfalls, and swimming pool surrounded with 4 hot tubs.
• They had a restaurant called Portofino and we did not enjoy our meal there since the staff wasnt friendly, salad tasted awful and slow service.

“This was in a good location. A resort setting close by to the airport. It was quick to get out of the hotel. They have both self and valet parking. Self Parking was quite a walk but they do offer a shuttle service which is a surprise since the shuttle is operated by the same people who does the valet parking. The grounds are vell well kept and you'll see people working every day on the grounds.”

“The room assigned to me at check in was awful. Windows didn't open, small, no desk. Paid $50 for an upgrade to a room with a sliding door (no view). The internet was down in the entire resort for a day. It seems like it can't decide if it's a family resort or a business/airport hotel and it does neither well. The pool is beautiful & the staff are very kind.”

• The view from the poolside patio was absolutely amazing.

“The hotel is ideally located on a beautiful beach in a secluded cove only 1 mile from the airport. Despite the proximity of the landing planes we never suffered from noise as there was high ground between the hotel and the airport. The scenery was spectacular. The hotel grounds, which includes a private golf course, are well designed and maintained and include a wide variety of beautiful flowering trees, waterfalls, and koi ponds. The pool and beach areas merge seamlessly making it very easy to enjoy both. If you are looking for a quiet relaxed time you will be very pleased. If you are looking for something more livelily you will be disappointed. The hotel is quite secluded. There are not many shops, bars, or restaurants within walking distance. You will definitely need a car to enjoy any of the nearby attractions. This hotel is probably best enjoyed by a 2 or 3 day stay, anything longer and I think I would have become restless.”

“Excellent staff, excellent restaurant (Kukui's) for brunch. The hotel was the first on the island (1960s) and the most inexpensive rooms are in the old section without a view. You get what you pay for. The staff was great to myself and my wife and upgraded us on our arrival because there were no other rooms readily available. We had been traveling about 20 hours and that was a wonderful way to help us get settled in quickly. The pool is huge, the food was extremely good at the breakfast buffet. The beach is nice but not outstanding (like Poipu). The grounds are spotless with a wonderful koi pond with ducks, swans, etc...”

“The location was very convenient. The pool, the koi pond and the beach were wonderful. There were many activities to do without leaving the resort. It was great since we had our toddler with us. The restaurants were great and reasonably priced comparing to rest of the Island. However, some of the hallways smelled, probably due to the humidity. The clean sheets and pillows were NOT so clean sometimes (they smelled bad). We had to replaced them couple times after we had our room cleaned. The hotel needs to do something about the smells.

• The pool is nice and was the only place in Hotel that gave good service.
• The service overall was really bad, no one at the Hotel knew anything about the Hotel or there services.

“When we arrived The Hotel room smelt really bad of mildew. We endend up changing rooms three times, because the second rooms bedspreads were very dirty, with stains and table cloth also. We wanted a CD player and they said they would put one in our room while they were spraying for the smell and then came back and said they could not. We wanted to eat Sushi and sent us in town to a place, but on our way back to Hotel they had a Sushi place above the pool area that they didn't mention to us. A friend of mine was trying to call to set up a message for a Birthday gift there at the hotel and they kept him on hold for 1/2 hour and never got back to him. He was calling from California. The Bar tender, the first night at the resturant by the pool was not happy to be there and gave everyone attitued. I use the Marriott for my clients wedding guests and this is the first Marriott that was just the worst and I would never send anyone there to that property.”

• Nicely maintained grounds
• Worst hotel room... EVER

“We booked our final two nights on Kauai at this resort, after staying the

previous 5 at the Marriott Waiohai Beach Club in Poipu (a FANTASTIC

property at a fantastic location - but that's another story). While the

grounds were nice, the room was the absolute worst hotel room that I have

ever seen. Carpeting was worn and dirty, bed linens (specifically the bed

dust ruffle) were tattered, bathroom was horribly tiny, and room

furnishings were dented and dinged. Not to mention, the room itself

looked directly onto the roof of what appeared to be the kitchen (not an

"Island-view" in my opinion). Traveling with a 1-year-old, this was

totally unacceptable. Hotel staff were unaccommodating in helping us find

an acceptable room in the hotel and unwilling to refund money. Even though we had prepaid two nights,

we checked out after 2 hours - "throwing away" the money that we had spent

on this room, to return to the Waiohai.



My (and my wife's) list of cons for this hotel:

1. HORRIBLY outdated and unmaintained room

2. Unhelpful desk staff

3. 4PM check-in! Even though we gave them advance notice that we would be

an early arrival (we were working around our child's nap time), they still

did nothing to help to ensure a room before this time. We finally got a

manager to help us out - but it should NEVER have had to come to this.

4. Beach is one of the worst on the island.

5. Avoid the "salon". My wife had her nails done at the salon in the

lobby. It looks nice from the outside, but is just an overpriced

strip-mall salon on the inside. Do yourself a favor and get salon

services elsewhere . . . say, the Hyatt (where we would have only spent $5

more).



Pro's for this hotel:

1. Grounds are nicely maintained (as are all resorts in Hawaii, so this is

somewhat of a moot point).”

“The Marriott Kauai Resort is located on prime beachfront (Kalapaki Bay) in Lihue, the central town of Kauai. It has all the amenities and features you could reasonably expect of a top resort hotel: a knockout of a lobby (complete with koi-and-duck pond), a huge pool with five hydrotherapy spas on the edge of it, childrens' activities, restaurants, lounges and bars galore, all sorts of diversions for the adults, even a daily newsletter. It's no wonder so many of the guests feel little need to leave the resort during their stay (although it would be a shame not to explore this incredibly beautiful island while you're there). The hotel has high-speed internet access, but charges $12.95 for it! In spite of these concerns, my wife and I still liked this hotel, felt comfortable there, and would be happy to return.”
